| hear il is doubtful now when the money
will get out this way. Those Johnnys are
not so green as they look, and don't you for
get 1t.
1 have big news from Frisco. stage
Manager, Won Boss writes me, Is going to
bring out "Gynbergdrinkenstein" in one of
the boss theaters there. Oh, won't l step
high and have lots OF soap IN my pocket,
too. Goodbye, old boy, come up and see me
when Pm in luck.
I feel it in my bones that you are going to
have an extra session of the : White Ele-
plants" soon. Lot has been praoticing on
the previous question" since the Wailuku
election, and hear that five millions will be
the correct thing for the new loan, instead of
two millions, which won't amount to any
thing.
l hear these COMPOUNDED Japsi are trying to
kick up fuss about that paltry 100000
they have in the Postal Savings Bank. Want
it transferred to Bishops, and all that. They
don't know when they're well off, or they
would keep quiet. If they were down at
Christmas Island the Grand Duke there
would soon set them to rights with flea in
their ear.
was talking with my little white-headed
friend the other day about the fixing up of
the old Conundrum, and he said 1t would
take at least S45, 900 to put her to rights. She
needs shingling bad, he says, and they intend
to give her a cost of plaster besides, before
she can 60 to sea. Admiral Grisley says 1t Is
bread and butter" for him, besides nice
new uniform.
Twas down at the Kinau Saturday when
she came in, and wondered why all the fel-
lows who wore the white hats looked so
"cocky." soon found out. Lots elected
for Wailuku, hurrah !" We all started up
town, and met Lot-he knew by our mugs"
what had happened-and he just moved the
'previous question" right off, and we sec
onded the motion. We had gay time.
White hats are trumps.
Twas down to see my old friend Ferdinand
off the other day to Frisco on the Pretty
Polly Perkins. Lots of Ferd.'s friends were
there, too, and he Just stood them off in
beautiful STYLE. They had the "right bower,''
you know, and "bust" his passport. Well,
Ford took things COOL aud let them have
their own way for while, and Just started
ur town and returned in a jify with nice
new arrangement from the foreign office.
which he facetiously called the little joker, -
and played them for ali they were worth,
and, lifting his hat, said 'ta-ta," went
aboard and off. Oh, l tell you, Ferd.s up to
snuff.
and Bit. took look at tue COnundrum
last week, and had "chat with Admiral
Grisley When we went on board the Ad-
miral was humming Z" the Kings Navvee,"
and was as busy AS bee in tar barrel !"
He Just knocked of and showed as all over
the old hooker-let US see the way he "reefed
the smoke stack and showed Us the new
method he had for unshipping the flying
jibboom and rigging it out of the cabin
windows. Oh tell you Grisley is smart,
and what he don't know about "dug out -
amt worth learning. The Admiral invited us
into the cabin and showed Us the patent lock-
er, in which he will keep the 'small stores
in a gale of wind-also the patent corkscrews
each locker is provided with. Blif. wanted
10 know how the corkscrew worked. Well,
we found out, you bet, and we had sUme diff
Guilty in finding our way to the Fish Market.
Bliff says the Admiral IS bully boy, if he has
corckscrews on his uniform-and that he is
